water is flowing!!!
close to 2 years ago we organized a water walk in our neighborhood. we were able to donate over $5000 as a result of it and we just got the pictures from the well most of our money built!

the people of the village built that wall on their own initiative, to keep animals our and to protect their well. it is a VALUABLE thing to them! such a humbling thing (as our water was turned off today for 30 minutes while some work was being done and i was reminded, yet again, how much i take running water for granted!)
God gave me this idea 2 years ago. i went forward with it...even though it seemed crazy. not as many kids showed up that day as i hoped. but God turned a small water walk in our little neighborhood into something that built a well for a village and it will give them LIFE!! that is so humbling!!! i pray this encourages YOU to do those "crazy" ideas that He puts in your head and heart!

I was like "I'm going to be tough. I will not cry." and then I saw "Broadlands Well" on the plaque and I totally choked up! I'm such a softy! What a good thing He did through you because you were willing.
Now that is amazing!!! Seriously...what a moment that must have been to see those pictures for the first time. Wow!!!
I do get crazy ideas and I pretty much always dismiss them. Now every time I get a crazy idea I'm going to think of this.
AMAZING!! What a blessing your "crazy ideas" are! Thanks for the inspiration.
so super :)
This is so cool. I've been thinking about doing something like this in our neighborhood this year. I need to get my rear in gear!
So awesome, Courtney. For real.
This is truly amazing...
And please also add in the $1500 you inspired me to raise in my neighborhood. We didn't dig a well but we provided training and education on water issues. God is good!
